Official site with trailers!

This will be very cool. I already know EVERYTHING about it. Although it does not go with the previous DC/Bruce Timm animated universe ... it appears that it can in your mind. Why? Same animation style and the story continues anyway! Lois and Superman had just started getting together in the cartoon series. Here they are in a relationship making it appear to happen afterwards. It's really up to you to see it as a new 1-Shot movie (Which it is.) or to tie it into the other series. Discuss this cool new movie here!

9-18-2007 means it came out the other day! Rent it right away! ^_^

Also ...

Justice League: The New Frontier

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice...e_New_Frontier

This should be really cool. Read all about it on that link and discuss it here!

Teen Titans: The Judas Contract

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teen_Ti...Judas_Contract

This does not go with the Teen Titans cartoon series. In fact ... this story was already told in the series. This movie will be based more closely on the comic book series. Also, the character models should be grown up like in the comics rather than kiddie small versions of the animated series. Discuss this cool movie here.

^So have you seen it yet? If you have is it any good?

I was kinda interested in it when I saw the commercials. I'll probably end up getting it for my brother since he's a huge Super Man fan.

Ah, I forgot about this thread.

I have watched it. and if you have read the original "Doomsday" then, prepare for a disappointment. They would have been better off making it a Justice League title, that way they could have used the time better and had more depth.

The movie is about an hour and fifteen minutes. and only the first quarter of the movie is dedicated to Superman VS Doomsday. After the death of both characters, a clone is then put out on the streets of Metropolis. Who then starts killing bad guys. Superman returns and defeats him. Simple as.

Other than the fight scenes, which are very good. This is a waste of time if you ask me. Just go and watch Justice League Unlimited. That would be downloading time, well spent.

Superman loses ? That's already goes against the main idea of the comic ;p

It does? Superman actually dies in the original comic. In this, his body just slows down [to a more human level] to heal.

I think everyone in DC/Marvel comics have died at least twice and resurrectred again..

Meh...

Watching Dragon Ball makes you used to characters being revived all the time...

It pissed me off because it didn't follow the comic... so whatever. Fights were ok though. Superman with long hair = kickass.

If I remember correctly, he died after Doomsday; so, it can be said he won.

Wasn't he revived a bit later? Or was that part of the story not part of the original universe?

He was revived in the same comic. In case you havent read it, its something like this. Doomsday appears on earth, beats Superman to holy hell, Superman knocks Doomsday unconscious or to the other side of the planet or something, Superman retreats to the hall of solitude I think, gets Mother Box, gets an upgrade (sword, armor, cape, gun etc.), kills Doomsday, Doomsday comes back, kills superman, Mother Box revives superman, it finally dawns on superman that Doomsday is immortal, Superman cheats and takes Doomsday to five seconds before the end of time, and leaves him there. End of Doomsday.
